Event Registration Guidelines

Registration for some JSGS events (ie: Public Workshops, Conferences, Symposiums, Student Workshops, etc.) is required and registration for JSGS events such as Public Lectures is strongly encouraged. Knowing who plans to attend our events allows us to announce a change of venue if room size is not adequate and to send additional information related to the topic being discussed. Thank you for helping us get to know our audience.

Unless otherwise indicated, lectures and workshops in Regina will take place in Room 308, 330, 349 or 350, on the third floor of the College Building, College Avenue Campus, University of Regina. Guests can enter the College Building via the north or south side of the main atrium, and access to the third floor is available via elevator and stairs. Once on the third floor, signage will direct you to the event. 2 hour parking is available on College Avenue, and paid parking is available on campus (please pay at the kiosk in the parking lot or near the north atrium entrance).

Likewise, lectures and workshops in Saskatoon will take place in the Prairie Room, Diefenbaker Centre Canada, 101 Diefenbaker Place, University of Saskatchewan. The Diefenbaker Centre Canada is located off of Campus Drive, across from the Edwards School of Business. Enter through the front doors and take the hallway to your right. The Prairie Room will be on your left. Paid parking is available in the lot near the Diefenbaker Centre.

Registration for all events are on a "first come, first serve" basis. If an event is full, JSGS staff may attempt to secure a larger venue. If this is not possible, a waitlist will be kept in the event of participant cancellation.

Professors- Professors who are interested in bringing a class of students to a JSGS event should contact Karen Jaster-Laforge at js_outreach@uregina.ca to make arrangements.

Accommodation

The JSGS aims to accommodate event participants to ensure that participation is the most positive experience possible. JSGS lectures and events are held at various times of the day (in the morning, over the noon hour, in the afternoon and in the early evening) in an effort to accommodate the busy schedules of those participating. If there is an event that you are required to attend where a conflict exists which may require some form of accommodation, please contact the school at 306-585-5512 and we will work together to find a mutually agreeable solution.

Autofill Option – unpaid registrations only

The JSGS online registration system for unpaid events is now activated for an "auto-fill" capability. To activate this option, simply enable the cookies in your internet browser and check the "Remember Me" checkbox at the bottom of the online registration form. The next time you register for one of our events, the online registration form will automatically populate with your contact information from your previous registration. The autofill option is not recommended, and should be avoided, if you are using a public computer.
